The effect of cell cycle synchronisation on glucose metabolism in cancer cells is not known. We assessed how cell cycle synchronisation by thiazolidinediones (TZDs) can affect glucose uptake by cancer cells and investigated the anti-cancer effect of combination therapy with TZDs and 2-deoxy-glucose (2-DG) in colon cancer cells and in mouse xenograf...

Covert facial mimicry involves subtle facial muscle activation in observers when they perceive the facial emotional expressions of others. It remains uncertain whether prototypical facial features in emotional expressions are being covertly mimicked and also whether covert facial mimicry involves distinct facial muscle activation patterns across mu...

The mechanism of how ice crystal form has been extensively studied by many researchers but remains an open question. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a useful tool for investigating the molecular-scale mechanism of crystal formation. However, the timescale of phenomena that can be analyzed by MD simulations is typically restricted to microse...

The study aims to investigate the variation of the coal dielectric properties during coal low-temperature oxidation and the effect of oxidation product on the coal dielectric properties. Four different types of coal were prepared under low-temperature oxidation condition, and the coal dielectric properties were measured with an impedance analyzer a...

Interrogating DNA methylation within schizophrenia risk loci holds promise to identify mechanisms by which genes influence the disease. Based on the hypothesis that allele specific methylation (ASM) of a single CpG, or perhaps CpH, might mediate or mark the effects of genetic variants on disease risk and phenotypes, we explored haplotype specific m...

A simple and effective method for determining five pyrethroid residues in herbal tea by ultrasound-enhanced temperature-controlled (UETC) ionic liquid dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (IL-DLLME) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) was developed. The use of ultrasonication and heating improved...

Stent graft devices for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are being increasingly used worldwide. Yet, during modelling and optimization of these devices, as well as in clinical practice, vascular sections are idealized, possibly compromising the effectiveness of the intervention. In this study, we challenge the commonly used approx...

There is a need to formulate oral cetuximab (CTX) for targeting colorectal cancer, which is reported to express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs). Therefore, coating CTX with a somatostatin analogue such as octreotide (OCT) is beneficial. Alginate was used to coat CTX to facilitate delivery to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). This study aimed to deli...

Triggering events for acute aortic dissections are incompletely understood. We sought to investigate whether there is an association between admission for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) to the University of Michigan Medical Center and the reported annual influenza activity by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. From 1996–2...

In nature, streamflow pattern is characterized with high non-linearity and non-stationarity. Developing an accurate forecasting model for a streamflow is highly essential for several applications in the field of water resources engineering. One of the main contributors for the modeling reliability is the optimization of the input variables to achie...
